We can learn much about how a historical period viewed the abilities of its children by studying its children’s literature. Occupying a space somewhere between the purely didactic and the nonsensical, most children’s books published in the past few hundred years have attempted to find a line between the two poles, seeking a balance between entertainment and instruction. However, that line seems to move closer to one pole or another depending on the prevailing cultural sentiments of the time. And the very fact that children’s books were hardly published at all before the early 18th century tells us a lot about when and how modern ideas of childhood as a separate category of existence began… Enter the Baldwin Library of Historical Children’s Literature here, where you can browse several categories, search for subjects, authors, titles, etc, see full-screen, zoomable images of book covers, download XML versions, and read all of the over 6,000 books in the collection with comfortable reader views.

Kidlit411 2018 Banner Illustration
In January, Kidlit411.com offered the opportunity to illustrate the banner for their site, Facebook group, & Twitter Profile. Below is the banner I created for them. It focuses on the frequent interviews of children’s book authors & illustrators and the diversity found within the kidlit industry. Following is the full illustration in its non-branded form (Note the way the handling of the music notes correspond to the bird speaking them).

Our Son Has Come!
On December 28, 2017, our son was born!
His original due date was 01/17/18, but due to medical concerns surrounding his small size, our doctors pushed up the delivery date (which was 37 weeks along). Following his birth, lab results confirmed that this was a good call by the doctors, and we are fortunate to have him with us.
He was 4 lbs 3 oz and came out strong; however, a couple hours later, he started breathing fast and his blood sugar dropped quite low. Truly, I thought I was going to lose my son. His body was so lethargic and looked like he didn’t have much longer to live. BUT they put him NICU and and over the course of those 6 days he got better. They released him from NICU on January 3rd to come home!
A couple days after his release, the pediatrician had him weighed at 4lbs 1oz. Seven days later, the pediatrician had him weighed at 4lbs 15oz!!!!!! Apparently, he has been growing 50% faster than average, and we are so happy he is growing so well! Everything else has continued to look good!
We are overjoyed at this blessing God has given us and are looking forward to the adventure to come!
Below are some images (he actually was/is a lot smaller than he looks in the photos)

Movies Watched in 2017
This past year, I wanted to immerse myself into visual storytelling in movies, so we watched quite a few movies (88 to be precise). Hope I learned something, but at least I enjoyed this research!
While we rented some from GooglePlay and through our Amazon Prime Video, to our delight, we realized that we could check out many movies (even just released to dvd) through our local library! Nothing like watching movies for free!
As a side note & a little insight to me, I am not fond of watching movies at the movie theater as I find it inconvenient & discomforting (in fact, I can’t quite remember how many years ago it has been since watching a movie in the theater). Watching at home allows me to pause as needed (use restroom, get something to drink/eat, look something up, talk about what was shown, go do something and come back to the movie hours later, etc.), rewind (usually to clarify what was said/shown or re-listen/re-see if distracted when in natural play), and simply to relax (lay down, wear very casual clothes, talk & use smartphone more freely during the movie, sketch or do work during the movie, etc.). Oh, and it’s a whole lot cheaper!
…hmm… “Nothing like watching movies for free!”… “it’s a whole lot cheaper!”… Well, I sure sound like a cheapskate! — haha — I’m not, but if I can get something at a lesser cost (especially if I find the lesser cost version to be better), then why pay more?
FAVORITES & NOTES:
These movies get repeated in their category below; however, I wanted to call out some of my favorites. Since I’m not certain as to which order I would put them in, I listed them in alphabetical order:
Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) (2014)
IMDb | Rotten Tomatoes | Wikipedia | Amazon Video | DVD/Blu-Ray
Ernest & Celestine (2012)
IMDb | Rotten Tomatoes | Wikipedia | Amazon Video | DVD/Blu-Ray
Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009)
IMDb | Rotten Tomatoes | Wikipedia | Amazon Video | DVD/Blu-Ray
The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014)
IMDb | Rotten Tomatoes | Wikipedia | Amazon Video | DVD/Blu-Ray
James and the Giant Peach (1996)
IMDb | Rotten Tomatoes | Wikipedia | Amazon Video | DVD/Blu-Ray
Miss Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children (2016)
IMDb | Rotten Tomatoes | Wikipedia | Amazon Video | DVD/Blu-Ray
My Life As A Zucchini (2016)
IMDb | Rotten Tomatoes | Wikipedia | Amazon Video | DVD/Blu-Ray
Wadjda (2012)
IMDb | Rotten Tomatoes | Wikipedia | Amazon Video | DVD/Blu-Ray
NOTES:
I also enjoyed the Planet of the Apes Trilogy, the Star Wars movies, and The Spiderwick Chronicles; though, I’m not sure if they make it to the “Favorites” list. Similarly, I was pleasantly surprised that I enjoyed the mix of 3D, 2D, etc. in The Peanuts Movie; it was something I was skeptical & critical of before watching it but actually found it to be an appropriate and endearing approach.
Maybe I’ll make some people upset here, but I did have some unexpected disappointments with some movies that had a lot of critic, industry, and public “fanfare” (Note: This doesn’t mean that I disliked the movies all together, for in fact, there were various great things about them) : Logan — While I liked the gritty, dusty & somewhat realistic style of Logan, it was far too violent/angry/aggressive for me. Wonder Woman — This had fun action sequences & exciting special effects, but while it was nice to see the Wonder Woman character being physically strong as well as compassionate, I found her to make key decisions based off of emotion rather than thoughtful strategy & such; thus, I didn’t find her to be quite the best role model as the character was praised for being, particularly for encouraging STEM, leadership, etc. La La Land — This just seemed to have unending praise heaped upon it, but I found it quite forgettable; however, I must say that I very much so liked the color usage, sets/scenes & the compositions of them. The live action versions of The Jungle Book and Beauty & The Beast — Both of these were visually wonderful with great production quality; however, they not only didn’t live up to the original cartoon versions for me but seemed to be lacking something (perhaps it is just my own nostalgia).
I probably should spend more time writing down thoughts after watching movies, especially as I would love to be more thorough here on what I liked/disliked & why for all the movies. Maybe I’ll find some time to go back to ponder on all of these more, and maybe I’ll start writing down thoughts on movies going forward shortly after watching them…

Goliath Games’ Wordsearch Box Concepts
It was my pleasure to work on box cover concepts for Goliath Games’ popular Wordsearch game. Each of the concepts focused on a nuanced approach for niche placement and have a variation which could also be considered for additional game editions. Pictured are: 1) Fun Play (Family); 2) Search Competition (Party); 3) Fast Action (Mass Market); 4) Game Play (Intellectual/Educational); 5) Concept (Specialty); 6) Minimalist (High End). Additional considerations were given for printing treatments as well as box structure.
